Description
Climb up the slightly runout but lower angle slab and clip the first bolt. After you clip the first bolt it is very well protected. The crux is just past the first bolt (or maybe its the second) where one must do some slabby moves up to the next bolt. Attain the ledge and then go right and follow the bolted arete/face up to the chains. It is a really good idea to bring some medium to small pro for the moves getting off of the ledge to the first bolt on the upper face. Also, gear is recommended further up the climb as well.
Location
This route starts climbers right of prepare for soaring seagulls (5.10d). It is on the north side of elephant rock. you will see two lines of bolts leading to a large ledge this is the rightmost line, whereas the left line of bolts is for prepare for soaring seagulls. Descent is via a 60 meter rope. Simply lower off of the chains at the top of the climb.
